a piano tab for this sorry

Like I've always been

  Am     Bb 	F
And way down low

Am			Em
	thinkin' of the prettiest thing

Outro Solo similar to 1st solo only more bluesy

Hope all Piano playing Norah fans like this. This song is NOwhere to be found tabbed or
on the internet.  I worked my bum off on it with the rythm & bass lines. I wanted a
piano song to sing to without the need of accompaniment.  I'm a fledgling player on both 
& guitar so this was time consuming.  Trying to line up things was difficult too.  If
have questions, contact me at my profile.  Peace.
